Timing is everything: Expert opinion on researching epilepsy rhythms by the ILAE Task Force on Chronobiology

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent seizures, the hallmark of epilepsy, are influenced by rhythms operating over multiple timescales. Chronobiology is the study of biological timing that aims to explain temporal patterns of events like seizures. Fueled by recent advances in genetics, computational modeling, and device engineering, the chronobiology of epilepsy is now a

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Low‐temperature soft electrochemical actuator based on hierarchically structured polypyrrole membranes for subzero operation

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A soft electrochemical actuator using a hierarchically structured polypyrrole membrane with coral‐like hollow vesicles achieves stable performance at −24°C. The unique architecture ensures continuous conductivity and rapid ion diffusion, resulting in large strain, low energy consumption, and high coulombic efficiency under subzero conditions. This work

Risk of Secondary Extinction in the Asian Songbird Trade, as Exemplified by the Selling of Crested Jayshrikes as Master Birds

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
The Asian Songbird Crises negatively affects so‐called master birds, species that are used to increase the song complexity of competitive songbirds. We assessed the trade in a master bird, the crested jayshrike, in Indonesia before and after its legal protection.

Investigating Drivers of Tiger Bone Glue Consumption in Vietnam 调查越南虎骨胶消费的驱动因素 Điều Tra Nguyên Nhân Dẫn Đến Tình Trạng Tiêu Thụ Cao Hổ Cốt Tại Việt Nam

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We found the estimated use of tiger bone glue within the last 12 months to be 6.9%. We found a stated motivation of taking TBG to improve health, and by the suggestion of one's social group. We suggest reducing the acceptability of TBG as medicine and encouraging non‐animal‐based medicinal alternatives.

Promise‐Keeping Reputations in an Investment Game: An Experimental Investigation

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We design a controlled laboratory experiment to mitigate moral hazard problems in livestream shopping when sellers make promises to buyers. In our experiment, the promise‐keeping reputation mechanism allows sellers to send promises to buyers while buyers can observe the sellers' historical promise‐keeping records. Results demonstrate that bare

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can friendship and love be bought and sold? I argue yes, contrary to philosophical consensus. The prevailing view rests on the common error of over‐reliance on idealized conceptions of friendship and love that bear little resemblance to actual relationships.
